Twisted Events
Chapter 3- Another Day At RWHC
At Lana's Desk
Lu walks into the clinic 1hr late. She had gotten off to a late start. After she had gotten the kids ready and off to the zoo she had to get herself ready. She had to take a shower and get dressed do her hair and brush her teeth. Which takes an average additional 45 minutes and then the clinic is 15 minutes away from her house. Running her an hour late. Dana wasn't going to be happy.
Lu got to work and hurried to her office where she put on her white lab coat and then proceeded to Lana's desk to get her assignments for the day.
"What do you have for me today Lana" Lu asked in a rush
"Well baby girl Dr. Stow wants to see you in her office ASAP!"
"I just got here I didn't think I had time to do anything wrong. What does she want is it serious?"
"I don't know kid but good luck."
"Thanks Lana I'm gonna need it!"
"You better go baby.....she did say ASAP!"
"your right"
Lu walks down the curved hallway and up to Dana's door. She decides to be polite and knock instead of just barging in....Lu knocked on the door and was let in by a less than happy Dana. She knew before she even said anything that Dana was upset because of her lateness.
"Where have you been? You're an hour late!" Dana nagged at her.
"Excuse me miss prim and proper I told you when I took this job that my kids come first!! Lets get to the topic Dana. You needed to see me?"
"Yes as a matter of fact I did."
"(irritated that Dana was taking so long) Aaaannndddd..........."
"Do you know a Michaela Jahavason?"
"Yes I do how come?"
"She came in 2 hours ago claiming to be your niece. ..........stomach ache, vomiting, dizziness, pain in the lower abdomen menstrual like cramps. She wouldn't let anyone else look at her.. She said that you are her doctor and that she wants you. Lu since when do you have a sister?"
"I don't, Kayla is a friend of mine. She use to come over everyday and baby- sit for MJ. Her folks abused her real bad. Mom's a drunk and Dad deals drugs, they didn't even know that she was gone. She stayed with me for a while. I called CPS but they didn't do anything about it. I had a talk with her parents and things seemed to mellow out. I haven't seen or heard form her in about 2 weeks time period she said that she was going on vacation."
"Well she's in room 123 waiting for you"
"Thanks Dana"
Lu hurries to room 123. When she gets into the room it appears that nobody is in there but then she hears a gagging sound coming form in the bathroom. She peeks her head into the open bathroom doorway and finds 15 year old Kayla purging over the toilet. Lu rushes over to help the weak teenager and holds her hair until she is finished.
"Kayla! Honey are you ok?" Lu asks with alarm
"Lu I was raped......I think I'm pregnant."
Lu guides the frightened child over to the examination table and sits down there with her. Knowing that it is not right to push for information she asks Kayla simple questions hoping that she would open up to her Aunt Lu whom had also been through what she was going through.
"Sweetheart look at me ( Lu gentle turns the child's head so it is facing her) I need to ask you some questions ok? Do you mind if I ask you some simple questions?"
"Ok" Kayla is afraid but she knows that she can trust Lu.
"Sweetie I know your frightened but I need to know when this happened and who did this to you"
"It happened last week. My parents made me go to this wild party.......they made me do bad stuff Lu! (Kayla starts to cry and Lu holds her) They made me do bad stuff..........One of my Dads friends......he held me down and.......(Kayla's voice starts to break) and he raped me.( Kayla was hysteric by now ) he raped me Lu! ! When he was done I saw him give my Mom and Dad money........"
Lu sees that Kayla can't go on with her story. She understood how the young girl felt. Beings as she too had been in Kayla's shoes not too long ago.
"Kayla this is in no way your fault honey! Why didn't you come to me sooner?"
"I...I....I 't Daddy said that If I told anyone that he would kill me I......I trust you Lu please don't tell Daddy that I was here.!.!.!.!.!"
"Honey I'm going to have to call CPS, you know that right"
"Don't!" Kayla screams crying "Lu please don't! If you do my dad will hurt me! Lu Please!"
"Kayla! Kayla! Honey please calm down! I need you to calm down lets worry about you first we can take a pregnancy test and check to see if there was any tearing form what he did to you. We can do tests on you to test for internal tearing. We can't perform a rape kit on you honey you waited too long but we can do a pregnancy test on you." Lu speaks to the child calmly and soothingly wanting and longing to sooth the child's fear.
"Will it hurt Lu"
"It won't hurt much honey."
1hr Later
"ok honey were all done you sit tight while I take these samples up to the lab. I will be right back with the results."
"Ok Lu"
Lu hurries out of the hospital room and to the Lab. She knows that the test results wont take long and so she waits for them.
Meanwhile at The Front Desk
Marc drops MJ off at her play date a little early and heads for the clinic. She heads straight to Lana's desk. He had a worried look on his face meaning something bad has happened and he needs his mom's reassurance that everything is going to be ok.
"my my you're here early Marc" Lana says in a playful tone to the 15 year old boy.
"where's my mom?" Marc says in a upset voice.
"she's with a patient right now honey but she should be done soon if you would like to....(thinking) what is it you kids call it now days? Oh yeah chill! If you would like to chill here for a little while your mom should be done soon."
"alright Lana I'll chill here"
Just then Lu comes out of the Lab with Kayla's test results and as she is walking by Lana's desk she sees her son sitting in the corner..
"Hey Marc what's up where's MJ?"
"at her play date"
"(Noticing the troubled look on her son's face) Honey what's going on huh?"
"mom who's Joanie Hanson? She's MJ's birth mom right?"
"Yes she's MJ's biological mother why?" "she called the house"
".........and.........."
"and she said she wanted you to send MJ to Providence for a couple of days"
"well Marc I'm going to have to talk to Syd about all this. "
"mom?"
"yeah?"
"you cant sent MJ to stay with these people!"
"I know your feeling hurt right now and you want to protect your baby sister but honey it wouldn't be forever just for a few days."
"yeah I know but mom she gave MJ up when she was only 1 day old!"
"Marc baby please understand. Joanie was only 12 when she got pregnant with MJ. She was only 13 years old when she gave birth! Marc that's so young she wasn't even out of Jr. High yet!"
"I CANT BELIEVE THAT YOUR DEFENDING HER! THINK ABOUT IT MOM SHE HATED MJ SHE NEVER WANTED HER OR SHE WOULD HAVE KEPT HER! I AM NOT GOING TO LET MY BABY SISTER GO WITH THESE PEOPLE!"
"Marc....I"
Marc grabs his bags and hurries out of the clinic. He cant believe how stupid his mother can be . Well it didn't matter he wasn't going to let his baby sister go anywhere. And that is final.
In Room 123
Kayla is laying on the exam table crying. It seemed that all she could do is cry over the events that happened in the last week. She knew that she was pregnant. Even though she was only raped 1 week ago she knew what the 1st response tests would tell her. Lu walks in crying the test results in one hand. And a sad smile on her face.
"Kayla honey I'm sorry! The tests showed the pregnancy hormone meaning that you are pregnant but just a little bit.....your about 1 week along. We need to start you on vitamins right away."
"Lu why? My parents are going to kill me! I want to get an abortion! I don't want my parents to hurt me anymore then they already have Lu. Why don't you understand that?"
"Kayla honey I know your afraid but I am going to have to call CPS on your parents. Honey your only 15 you have to be 18 before you can get an abortion without your legal parents signature."
"(starts crying in a panicked way) Lu PLEASE don't call CPS on my parents! My dad said that he would kill me if I told anyone! Lu please!"
"Kayla honey you have to worry about your well beings and the well beings of this little baby that you have inside of you. If you go back to your parents do you really feel that it would be safe for you and the baby to live there getting beat and raped?"
"so your saying all this is my fault?"
"No honey! This is not your fault! It is never your fault! The victims of rape are NEVER to blame! Do you understand me Kayla? Look at me! Kayla its not your fault!"
"Then what do you want me to do I cant raise a baby on my own."
"Kayla listen.......I will help you raise the baby......you can come live with me and we can raise the baby together....I will help you....please let me help you. Meanwhile we need to get you into a support group so you can talk about everything that's going on."
"I ain't going to no support group Lu."
"I went to one after I was raped Kayla....It really helped me to get on with my life. Go home and get some supplies then you can come stay at my house in the spare bedroom."
"Lu....."
"yeah?"
"thanks"
